With over 30,000 followers and almost 15,000 tweets in just over a year, he's hard to miss. He has become something of a twitter expert (twexpert?), and can be seen flaunting his expertise on regular live <a href="http://twittalk.tv/" target="_blank">http://TwitTalk.tv</a> video conferences. He's also something of a marketer, and is currently promoting a project of his called VideOptin, among other things. As busy as he is, he has found the time to intweet, so let's see what he has to say... </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />@jafprrr: </span>Welcome to your intweet! The question of the night is, can you outdo Obama?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@Mike_Wesely:</span> That can be tough, but if he stands still for too long, it could happen.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />@jafprrr:</span> Not much chance of that happening! You've achieved a lot in your 1st year on twitter, haven't you?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />@Mike_Wesely:</span> <span id="msgtxt1385237679" class="msgtxt en">Yes pretty proud of were I'm at :-)</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />@jafprrr:</span> That's what I really want to know tonight.

How else does it benefit you?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />@Mike_Wesely:</span> <span id="msgtxt1385301061" class="msgtxt en">again it mostly comes down building relationships with people,</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />@jafprrr:</span> ...and once you've built that relationship, what then? This is the meaty bit, as far as I can tell.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />@Mike_Wesely:</span> well u build relationships, u attract to U, then any products or services people want to get from U because they like U.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />@Mike_Wesely:</span> <span id="msgtxt1385334022" class="msgtxt en">It is really all just human characteristics, no different on Twitter than F2F.

Disinfect keyboard after reading... Mostly Harmless<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">When I first saw @CrazyOnYou's twitter bio, I was compelled to follow him - especially the 'Disinfect keyboard after reading' bit. And I haven't been disappointed. His tweets are often humorous and he has been quick to banter when I've @ replied to some of the many of his tweets that invite it. When he's not being funny, @CrazyOnYou is often posting great music to listen to. Okay, not <span style="font-weight: bold;">always</span> great, but he is a veritable font of musical fodder.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Well, here we are. Welcome to the inaugural intweet!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> I'm looking forward to it <crosses fingers="" and="" toes="">... Let's have fun!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Nervous?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Naah... Looking forward to the conversation.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Good. So, um, what DID happen in the Foreign Legion?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Let's Get This Party Started... :) ♫ http://blip.fm/~312gx<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> You got a party started in the Foreign Legion?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Really? I didn't know those guys cared... Big hugz guys. Except for you Pierre.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> I think I heard about Pierre...congrats on your 10,000th tweet yesterday<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Thank you! It's funny how people react around milestone tweets. Most of my tweetstream is random so it didn't seam big...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> You know, I did some calcs, &amp; it works out to >5 tweeps per follower &amp; >25 tweeps per day<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> I'm quality, babe! And, apparently somewhat compulsive..<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Which of course leads to beer (what doesn't?)...I couldn't help but notice your pic. Like the odd brew?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> I like the odd brew, the even brew and quite a few in between... But don't forget coffee...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Do you have a fav? Or does compulsion simply make it the one in front of you?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> My favorite brew is Guiness. My favorite coffee is Gevalia. You know I never noticed that they both start with 'G' before...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Sazarack doesn't, though. @lynndorman wanted me to ask you about that - that is, if you remember...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> It was New Orleans... There might have been some alcohol involved... I remember waking up three days later...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Actually, I see she wanted me to ask you how to MAKE Sazarack...and thoughts on that?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@lynndorman:</span> he can drink it too<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Umm... Can I call a friend? Well, uhh.... Did you know yesterday was Pi Day?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> No, but I see you had some fun with #3hotwords. What is Pi Day? 3 words please...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Irrational math love<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Ok, you can go into a LITTLE more detail...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Yesterdays date 3/14 corresponded to the first digits of the irrational number pi. Plus, I ate some cherry pie...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> You know, in most parts of the world, Pi Day would be 4/31 (except there isn't one)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> I told you it was irrational... Would you like that ala mode?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Probably. So, how did your task oriented day go today? Did it beat the depression, or is this a better antidote?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Well, this is a lot more fun! The tasks were like Russian dolls, starting one created others which created others...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> That darned real life keeps getting in the way, doesn't it?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Yeah, especially the real life that I didn't pick up and then tripped over...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> At least it wasn't a real-life rake, I guess. @waterbears wants to know: How did you come to love music so much?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Thanks, @waterbears ! I grew up studying, learning and reading with music in the background. It's part of how I think now...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> So that explains it (how you think, that is)...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Nothing explains how I think... I still surprised people give me credit for thinking in the first place...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> And this growing up thing, when did that happen?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Well, I got taller. Then I grew wider. Probably never going to get more mature, though...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> That's a relief! We're racing thru the hour here, so who are some of yr fav tweeps? I wanna check 'em out...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Oh, God, that's a great way for me to get in trouble... @Astrogirl426 and @ImWendy and @smuttysteff and @ninjen and... You!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Shucks! I was thinking that was a little unfair as I hit Enter. This is easier: fav music?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> Well, Heart, obviously. I like all kinds of music: classical, rock, country, hip hop, world, Latin... It all speaks to me.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> And finally, can we find you anywhere else? There's no link on yr profile...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> I'm getting ready to start a blog, watch my profile and my tweets to find out about it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Will do. Well, thank you - you've made the very first intweet a most enjoyable experience...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> It's been a lot of fun. Glad I took all those Valium... Am I drooling?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@jafprrr:</span> Is that what it is? I wasn't going to say anything...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">@CrazyOnYou:</span> It always happens when I don't get the meds just right... Bunnies! Fluffy pink bunnies!</crosses>Jamie Reyglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00127576377918657947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835423563423262496.post-36311247305402667782009-03-10T21:22:00.004-04:002009-03-12T20:10:08.757-04:00Well, hello!And welcome to intweets.<br /><br />intweets are what I'm calling the interviews I'm planning on posting on this site. These will be interviews conducted entirely with @ replies on twitter.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to getting started with them, because I love doing interviews. I've done them on the radio and in print, and now I'm going to get to do a combination of the two: print interviews in real time! You can watch the interview as it happens, either by following me @jafprrr and my interviewee, or by going directly to #ntwt, which each @ reply should be tagged with. And if you miss it, you can always come and read it at your leisure here!<br /><br />I am hoping these will be truly interactive interviews, with readers posting questions and comments as the interview proceeds. I'll also be inviting you to give me your questions ahead of time, and to suggest people you would like to see interviewed.<br /><br />So let's begin! Who <span style="font-style: italic;">would</span> you like to see intweeted here?Jamie Reyglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00127576377918657947noreply@blogger.com0
